Front desk worker of a hotel here. Advice for anyone reading this. I recommend generally staying away from third party booking sites. Expedia isn't the worst but it can be problematic at times. Some 3rd parties are an outright scam so I recommend doing your research before booking anything through a 3rd party. Heck even call the hotel and see if they have issues with certain 3rd parties and I'm sure they'd be glad to help. Hopefully this helps 😁
This is why i never use travel 3rd parties. I just book direct with the hotel itself. Sometimes the hotel itself will match a 3rd party prices or sometimes they are cheaper that 3rd party.
Now all I can hear in my head is Weird Al doing The Misfits - Horror Hotel (1980) except it's called "Hershey Hotel" with lyrics about melted chocolate in the sheets and discarded candy wrappers scattered all around the room of a budget hotel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-REYXN8sLNKA.html
